"Torture of survivors was the norm, as it was all across the plains."

Brutal savage warfare is outlined. Both sides guilty of unimaginable atrocities. Incredible, fascinating book.



The lines were great. New stuff like "Big Feet and Thumbsuckers" and old stuff like Panjandrums. I had to go to William Safire to figure out Thumbsuckers. Also, PUMA - Party Unity My Ass, a coalition of Hillary backers.

Describing Hillary's campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle: "..(k)ept Hillaryland's sense of Omerta" and had "crawl-across-broken-glass fealty." Describing Dick Harpootlian:"... volatile, unpredictable, messy - a human IED."



Yes, Summer's almost gone.



Don't buy many CDs, will get this one.

Did the Brunch thing at TGIF's Union Square. Not bad, $1 extra gets you a small pitcher of Mimosas, Bloody Marys or Screwdrivers. The special is $10.95, but all sides are extra. Still not a bad deal and the place was packed.



On the NYT Best-Seller list. Looks great.



I am currently zooming through this one. Excellent book with lots of inside-detail.
